Outcome: Initial Outcome
In 2019 the Fleming County 4-H & FFA Livestock Show & Sale reached its record mark with its 78th anniversary event. This long running event provides a quality opportunity for youth to exhibit their projects, speak with community members and engage in the markets of livestock. Members are required to complete a detailed record book emphasizing the financial records of their livestock project and listing necessary materials they utilized throughout the project year. This event in 2019, showed more than 65 youth in participation with sales grossing more than $100,000.00. Our community support is astounding having the least number of youth in recent years, yet having almost a record number in sales.
